Nice list, but I have a question about AI for Sid and note about Phasma:
1.How AI's combining Sid and Poggle? I think that Poggle's Droid Assault makes Demoralizing Blows nice opening move, with chances to kill 1-2 enemies on start before healers can do anything (or just take healer out)
2.Personally I don't like using Victory March on start, because all that Advantage is most times wiped by 2 AoE's (especially if my Phasma attack first). Using Fusillade is more strategic, but just riskier because player team can be finished before will be ready to strike.
Rest of the points look legit for me and that toons should be fixed at least a bit. Except Ventress, she must be fixed for all costs.
Poggle always go after Sidious, so Sidious uses her AOE ability without the offense up, and only deals damages of around 3K, it is not very useful, because Luminara will cure the characters, if you want kill one character in the first turn, for example with Geonosian Soldier, and you also have Sidious, that go first, is better deal a basic attack to that character and inflict healing immunity, to prevent the cure ability of Luminara, for example if the enemy have Poe, Luminara can go first than your other 3 characters and Luminara can cure GS, but if you attack GS at the beginning with Sidious with a basic attack, the Luminara's cure will be useless. Also is useful when the enemy have a tank (Poe, Han, Chewbacca...) and you can't kill a character before the taunt, then use the Sidious's AOE to kill that character.
Also is useful inflict healing immunity to the second character that you want kill, if you are sure that GS will kill the first, for example if the enemy have QGJ (L), Lumi, Yoda, Poggle and Kylo Ren, then the first characters to kill are Yoda and QGJ, first Yoda and second QGJ, then you can inflict healing immunity to QGJ and kill Yoda with GS, then continue attacking QGJ, and then if the enemy Luminara tries to cure QGJ, it will be useless, it means that Luminara loses their cure ability, loses a turn, loses a oportunity to use "Force Blast" and after kill QGJ you can kill Luminara before her "Force Blast" and let for the end Kylo Ren and Poggle.
So I think that use the Sidious's AOE at the beginning is the same that play with 4 characters in the first turn, not useful to defend the rank. You can see that nowadays the people who have Sidious as leader are not in the Top 20 of the rank, maybe there are 3 or 4 characters that have Sidious as leader, but 1 month ago around 12 of 20 teams had Sidious as leader. The people who have Phasma or Sidious as leader now are between the 30th and 100th position, not in the TOP.
About Phasma, nowadays the people don't play with 2 characters with AOE ability, nowadays the common teams are with QGJ, Rey, GS, Poggle, Poe, Han, IG-86, Luminara, characters than don't have AOE abilities, and Yoda always need be killed before his AOE; the common characters that have a AOE ability and uses it in the first turn are Sidious, IG-88, HK-47 and Phasma, so in the majority of cases is better use the Victory March at the beginning, also is important because Phasma deals 65% more damage if she has advantage.

One more thing to take note on AI is they tend to switch targets very often.
Eg. if AI is targeting and attacking on 1 character, it will target another character on the next turn, leaving 2 characters in red and none dead LOL.
Is truth, also is something to solve, sometimes the AI attacks 3 different characters at the beginning and then it's easy to cure the characters with Luminara or kill 2 or 3 of his characters before lose a own first character. Would be more intelligent to attack the same character and kill it. Sometimes the AI attacks the same character, but not always.

The AI is made 'dumb' on purpose. Otherwise, devs are affraid that AI using the right skills and focusing the right targets would make the game 'very frustrating' for players.
I think that I would can win battles without AI problems and continue being rank #1 everyday, but now everyone can be in the top 20 if plays 10 battles, I can see teams as Sidious, Poggle, Luminara, Phasma and Dooku in the top 20, when these are teams that must be in the TOP 50th-100th, not in the TOP 20, in the TOP 20 must be teams as QGJ (L), Rey, Yoda, Poggle and Lumi, or teams as Poggle (L), GS, IG-86, IG-88 and Poe, or teams with characters hard to farm, as Kylo Ren, GS, Pooe, QGJ, Daka, RG, Yoda, Dooku, not teams with 100% characters from galactic war and arena shipments, the are people in the top that don't deserve it, and it's because the AI problems.
Sometimes I can see how a team with Phasma, Han, Lumi, GS and Daka can win my team with Poggle, GS, Poe, IG-86 and Kylo, that I think that it's better, and he can win my team because the AI problems, in the majority of cases he can lose 2 or 3 characters (GS and Daka) before the taunt of Han, but maybe the AI don't attacks Daka first and attacks GS, then Daka revives GS, is more useful attack Daka with GS, then attack GS with IG-86 and don't matter if one of them or both character survive, Kylo can kill one of them or both with the AOE ability, but if the AI does a different thing, then the strategy not works.
